Panel 2:

Lisa flips something on the tree behind them.

The tree turns so it's yellow and says Happy New Year on it.

January 1st? One year during the 1st Gulf War in the 90s, my parents kept our tree up until April because they were at work all the time and didn’t have time to take it down. (They worked giving clothes, etc. to soldiers going to Iraq.)
